Join us in this reflective exploration as we celebrate a quarter-century of Artizan Interiors, a journey marked by creativity, passion, and an unrelenting pursuit of excellence.
The Early Beginnings
In the early 1990s, the seeds of Artizan Interiors were sown when its founder, Alex, began his foray into the world of interior design. Balancing his university studies in surveying with practical work experience, Alex found himself laying carpets for his uncle’s business. This hands-on work ignited a growing fascination in Alex, one that gradually began to eclipse his theoretical studies.
This shift in focus led Alex to collaborate closely with his father, embarking on a venture that involved purchasing and renovating old properties. During this period, Alex’s deep-seated passion for kitchen design began to take root. He sourced materials for his renovations from well-known suppliers like MFI and Magnet. He thrived sourcing materials and crafting custom cabinetry, honing his skills, and developing a keen eye for design and functionality. These early experiences were pivotal, laying the groundwork for what would eventually become Artizan Interiors.
The Birth of Artizan Interiors
The year 1999 was a pivotal moment for Artizan Interiors, marking the beginning of our journey in the domestic refurbishment sector. This event marked not just the birth of a new business, but the beginning of our shared vision. The name ‘Artizan’ was thoughtfully chosen to reflect our artisanal approach. The unique ‘Z’ in Artizan adds a distinctive touch, paying homage to our family lineage and intertwining personal heritage with professional ethos.
From its inception, Artizan Interiors demonstrated potential through impressive debut projects: a grand apartment in Kensington and a townhouse in the vibrant restaurant district of W1. These initial ventures were not just projects, they were canvases that showcased the company’s exceptional design capabilities. For Alex, the founder, these projects were instrumental in gaining invaluable experiences, each one opening new doors of opportunity and paving the way for the future success of Artizan Interiors.
Steadfast Relationships and Expanding Horizons
From then on Artizan Interiors went from strength to strength. Throughout the years, we cultivated robust partnerships with renowned freestanding furniture manufacturers in Portugal and Italy. Esteemed names such as Laskasas, Domkapa, and Ronda Design are among our collaborators. In a significant development, Fred embraced his passion for handmade furniture, contributing bespoke tables and cabinetry. His designs are part of the Halia Furniture brand. Artizan Interiors’ relationships with builders, developers, and a dedicated customer base began to thrive, due to a strong network of referrals. Central to our enduring ethos is an unwavering commitment to exceptional customer service, a principle that remains at the heart of everything we do.
A Family Journey
During the early 2000s, the foundations of Artizan Interiors Limited were laid through collaborative efforts with Alex’s father’s company, engaging in various property refurbishments and even constructing a new house. This period was instrumental in gaining extensive construction knowledge. However, Alex’s passion was always rooted in interior design, focusing on kitchens and bathrooms. This passion was further nurtured through freelance work with a kitchen company and a high-end joinery firm, where his design skills were honed to perfection. Over the years, this family-centric journey saw the joining of friends and relatives, including younger brother Fred. This growing team of dedicated individuals led to the official incorporation of Artizan Interiors Limited in 2009, marking a new chapter in this family-driven venture.
Evolution and Excellence
Artizan Interiors’ journey of evolution and excellence is marked by its expansion into specialised kitchen and bathroom designs, aligning with esteemed suppliers like Crown Imperial. This strategic move underscored Artizan Interior’s commitment to offering high-quality and varied design options to our clients.
A significant milestone in this evolution was the venture into the world of German kitchen brands, notably with Bauformat becoming a primary supplier. This pivotal decision enhanced our design offerings, bringing in a blend of sophistication and quality. Further, Artizan Interiors’ affiliation with Der Kreis, Europe’s largest kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom (KBB) buying group, introduced it to renowned brands such as Stormer and Nobilia. These collaborations have been instrumental in solidifying Artizan Interiors’ reputation for excellence and innovation in interior design.
